Things like this only happen to us!

Well, we had quite an interesting night here at home. It started off normal with getting home and relaxing. I decided to make a quick, simple dinner of homemade pizza. Looks delicious, huh? It was!

Shortly before 9 PM, I put some water in the kettle to make hot chocolate since it's so cold here. I was planning on settling in with some hot chocolate while watching "The Office". The beginning of the show started when the kettle started whistling and Peter jumped up to move the kettle and I'd get my hot chocolate on a commercial. We heard a rustling sound when he sat back down on the couch and didn't know what it was so Peter went back to the kitchen to investigate.

Apparently the bag of BBQ chips we had bought on our grocery trip last night fell out of the open cupboard (I left the door open to get the hot chocolate from).

Where did it land?

On the hot burner of course!

The bag melted the chips were burning. We couldn't help but laugh. I grabbed oven mits and removed the burner. We put it in the sink and cleaned up the chips, but there was plastic melted on the burner. I was afraid the burner would be unusable, but as it cooled, most of the plastic came off. I'm hoping we'll still be able to use it, haha!

The bag burned and so we decided to throw the whole bag out because we weren't sure if there were plastic pieces in the bag or anything. Better safe than sorry! :)

It was fun to tease Peter as we were cleaning up. I kept bursting out with laughs because it was so funny. He laughed too :)

In the end I didn't make hot chocolate or watch "The Office". I'll try again tomorrow haha.
